I'm not too sure how to look for it
it still handles very well and doesn't squeek or squeal even in the canyons

I guess this only apply s to manuals but downshifting with the car at redline rpm's was the instance I saw or skipping a gear downshifting like from 6th to second .
The other maintenance item that is kind of crime with the DI engines
is the valve carbon build up. And all DI cars get this for a used BMW this would apply to the 335 only.

I know downshifting with the car on redline is bad, but whenever I do roll races I always tend to shift from 6th to 3rd. Is that just as bad?
I'm usually rolling at about 60 to 70 already and about at 4-5K rpm. I never downshift close enough to the redline where id need to shift as soon as I gas it
